More Information

Young, old, rescued, sick, small, massive, medicated or in need of some extra TLC and everything in between...We have loved them all!

We are a fun loving couple in our mid thirties who have really enjoyed taking care of fur babies and homes so far! We are non smoking, we have no kids or pets and are in possession of excellent references and a National Police Check.

As a Canadian/Dutch couple, we both grew up with pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, stick bugs etc :) and we love being outdoors and going for walks on the beach to enjoy the lovely Australian weather.

Until last November we lived in WA where we have really enjoyed lots of pet sitting for about 2.5 years.
We then moved to Melbourne where we have done a lot more house sitting, taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, fish and turtles.
We love discovering different areas around the city and take pride in keeping the animals as happy as a lark, staying in touch while you are away and keeping the home nice&tidy.
(Please ask us for the links to the websites to read the reviews, as Mindahome doesn’t allow me to post them in our profile)

Recently we have moved to Brisbane and we are enjoying more house and pet sitting here! We are both working from home and also some casual hours (around the CBD area/south of the river, so around that area would be ideal), which means that one of us is home most of the time to keep your fur babies company and your home safe.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We would love to meet you and your pet(s)!

Thank you,
Cy&Melissa

Reviews for Melissa&Cy

“Melissa and Cy were great sitters and I would confidently recommend them to anyone.

We have 5 pets and they were all happy and healthy on our return home. Melissa and Cy really are 'animal people' which was evident the first time we met them for a meet and greet and was further confirmed when we got home and saw how affectionate all our animals were with them.

Our sit was particularly challenging as during their stay there was a plumbing emergency (which had started before the sit). Melissa and Cy were able to mitigate the damage by the use of buckets and shutting off the mains and were in regular contact with us while I tried to track down our plumber. The plumber got in contact with Melissa and Cy and was able to come around immediately to fix the problem. All of this took place on good Friday, and the sitters couldn't have been more courteous or professional.

Another issue arose when our travel dates were mixed up and we arrived home a day earlier than expected with only a few hours notice. Melissa and Cy did an excellent job of cleaning and tidying up with minimal time and were apologetic that they didn't have time to do more even though the lack of notice was my fault.

All in all they were great. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in their care and we spent no time on our holiday worrying about them, which I haven't been able to say about sitters we've had in the past.

Happy to be contacted directly if anyone would like a chat, just ask Melissa and Cy for my details.” - Read more
